Chapter 878 No pressure
When Li Feng came over, he heard Van Gundy yelling at him. Li Feng knew what Van Gundy meant. He controlled the basketball rhythmically and stopped a little further from the three-point line. Seeing this, Robert Pera immediately jumped and shouted at Conley:
"Back to the three-point line, go back there. |[2][3][w][x]"
Robert Pera's intention was very simple. He saw that Li Feng had no three-pointer and wanted Conley to shrink back to defend at the three-point line. However, in such a large court, his voice was still too small. He could only watch Conley follow Li Feng stupidly and chase him.
At this time, Robert Pera really wanted to curse twice, but before Robert Pera could curse, Li Feng had already taken a big step and rushed forward in one step. Li Feng's first step was fierce, and even a guy like Conley who was absolutely not slow could not keep up.
After Li Feng twisted in, the Grizzlies' inside line immediately moved upwards as if they were facing a big enemy. The players who were resting on defense on both wings also went to the inside line, just as the entire Grizzlies were ready to concentrate in the three-second zone.
However, Li Feng did not go deep into the Grizzlies' inside line here. Instead, he twisted his body and began to move to the right along the Grizzlies' three-second zone. Li Feng's move suddenly concentrated the Grizzlies' inside line. In the Grizzlies' three-point line, except for the middle area, the surroundings were very empty.
Li Feng twisted over and said that although this move was very small, it immediately made Robert Pera's eyes widen. If Li Feng did this move in Robert Pera's tactics, then the entire Pelicans' style of play would be completely changed.
The entire formation of the Grizzlies became chaotic. Li Feng relied on his own body to roll out in the Grizzlies' lineup, and then pulled out Tony Allen in the Grizzlies' formation.
When Li Feng saw that there was another one behind his butt, he pulled it out immediately at 45 degrees. He raised his hand and sat in a fake shooting move.
Tony Allen saw Li Feng raising his hand. He immediately jumped up to block Li Feng, but after Li Feng clicked, he immediately passed the basketball to the high-ranking Al Jefferson.
Li Feng just cut into the Grizzlies' inside line and compressed the Grizzlies' inside line back. Now the basketball is in the hands of Al Jefferson, and the only one who can come up to defend Al Jefferson is Prince.
Al Jefferson was not under pressure on Prince and made a very good shot.
With such an easy shot, he hit the ball. After Al Jefferson scored such a goal.
Conley just received the basketball at the bottom line, and Robert Pera was there to greet Conley and shout at Conley:
"Step on the three-point line to defend Li Feng, step on the three-point line to defend Li Feng."
Conley understood Robert Pera's meaning. He nodded and ran towards the Pelicans' half.
Everyone knows that the Grizzlies have a Randolph, and everyone knows that Randolph is a strong player in the inside, but the Grizzlies also have very strong players on the outside, both Prince and Tony Allen are very capable players on the outside. At this time, when Tony Allen and Prince combined, the Grizzlies suddenly exuded a crazy offensive ability on the outside.
Tony Allen and Prince became a horn. They pulled the Pelicans' outside line very wide on both sides, and then took turns trying to break through and squeezed the Pelicans' space. In this way, the Pelicans' defensive pressure has been very huge.
After the Grizzlies' two swords merged from the outside, they were indeed extraordinary. Tony Allen easily threw away Jackson and went deep into the Pelicans' high position before turning around and passing the ball to Prince. Prince broke through again and then stopped and jumped.
Although the cooperation is simple, Prince and Tony Allenko are both defenders with strong scoring ability. After a simple cooperation, Prince has a chance here and makes a mid-range shot. He easily scored two points.
After the Pelicans lost two points here, Li Feng turned around and continued to attack the Grizzlies' position.
After Li Feng made a gesture to his teammate at this time, his teammates immediately dispersed.
Al Jefferson quickly ran out of the inside and took a step beside Conley. Li Feng just saw that Conley didn't save, so he stood at the three-point line to defend himself. It was not easy for him to break through. Li Feng called Al Jefferson to come out to help him. After Al Jefferson ran out, Li Feng had no worries and used Al Jefferson's cover to get into the Grizzlies' inside line.
When Li Feng came in, he was so quick that he also called out Marc Gasol to defend with Conley, and suddenly became a big defense. Afterwards, Li Feng caught up and defended.
In the normal concept, when a big man is caught by a small man, his route will be squeezed and deviated from his expected range. Instead, Li Feng killed him in this step and cut him up directly against Marc Gasol.
Seeing that Li Feng was about to enter the Grizzlies' basket directly, Randolph was also hurriedly blocked it and blocked Li Feng from the front and back sides. At this time, Li Feng quickly stuffed his hand from the middle between Marc Gasol and Randolph in the crowd.
As soon as Marc Gasol and Randolph saw Li Feng's hand stretching out, they immediately turned around and looked, because both insiders were aware of the coming danger at the same time.
Millsap, behind Randolph, received the ball from Li Feng. He jumped up and thought that there was a stroke on the basket. Millsap was not as perverted as Randolph and did not have a dexterity. However, Millsap had his own unique philosophy. Although the stroke he came up to wipe was not conspicuous, it was very fast, and he completed the final attack in an instant.
In offense, finishing ability is a very important word. Many players cannot effectively complete the attack after they have created attack opportunities in the end. However, some players have very high efficiency in their final attack and can easily complete the final attack.
Just like when he was at the basket, with someone behind him, Randolph could jump and dunk directly. The opponent would either make a foul or let Randolph score. If Henson got there in the same position, he might not be able to take action at all. This is the difference. It is also a reason why Randolph had no effective offensive skills and is still so popular in the league. It is because as long as Randolph got a position or a gap, he could complete an attack that ordinary people could not complete, turning a complex and difficult attack into Randolph's hands, it is very likely that it would directly turn into a simple attack.
Millsap does not have the perverted ability to turn complex into simplicity like Randolph, but his position is enough. With a little quick move, it will also be very simple to end the attack.
When Randolph turned around, Millsap got the score very simply, and the big man seemed to have a special feeling against Randolph. He, a man who was usually dull, actually made a face at Randolph.
"Now the Pelicans' style of playing has completely changed, and the core of the entire team has changed."
Kenny Smith's wide chin shook twice and said:
"If the Pelicans' tactics were based on the inside, then the entire Pelicans' tactics are now launched by Li Feng alone."
"Yes, this is clearly visible from the game. In front of it is Li Feng's horizontal pulling, which disrupts the Grizzlies' formation. Now it is Li Feng's breakthrough and breaking through. They are all very simple, much simpler than the original Pelicans. But it makes the Grizzlies very uncomfortable. After getting used to the Pelicans' defensive system, it suddenly faces the Pelicans' changes, and the offense from the outside seems to be unable to connect at all."
Miller's eyes were shiny. Now he was also staring at the Pelicans lineup and observing carefully.
The Pelicans have a new change. At this time, Robert Pera swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This is bad news for the Grizzlies, and at this time there is still serious bad news for the Grizzlies. Because the Grizzlies have lost one game at their home court, they can't lose this game anymore. If they lose again, the Grizzlies can basically prepare to fish, which is not the result that Robert Pera wants to see.
But what should I do now? Robert Pera thought with this question mark in his mind, and didn't even look at what was happening on the trough?
The Pelicans' play became simpler, but the Grizzlies are also changing. After it was obvious that the Pelicans had changed their playing style, Conley also made a gesture toward his opponent.
After Conley's gesture was made, the Grizzlies' formation also changed dramatically. Tony Allen and Prince, who were originally horns, suddenly appeared on the side at the same time. Tony Allen appeared at the top of the arc, Prince sank to the bottom corner. The most terrifying thing was that Randolph suddenly squeezed to the low position at this time.
There were three powerful scorers on the same side of the Grizzlies, which is the so-called absolute strong side. The three most powerful players of the Grizzlies gathered on the Pelicans' side at the same time, concentrating all the defensive power of the Pelicans' chances here, and then greatly pulled the Pelicans' weak side at the same time.
Standing here on the weak side is Conley who can break through to the Pelicans' inside line, and Marc Gasol, who has projection ability. The two weak side players of the Grizzlies are also very good to choose. Although these two have defects in abilities, they can complement each other and have their own characteristics.
Seeing the grizzly bent and swayed completely, Hardaway immediately glared and screamed:
"Absolutely strong side, the Grizzlies have to start taking action in advance."
It is definitely not as simple as One Plus One. Using a strong scorer, you can arrange different time for them and take turns to play singles. This can continue the offense and ensure the quality of the offensive ground. It can also be like this now, and at the same time, the players are arranged to present an absolutely strong lineup.
In the Grizzlies' strong side formation, the Pelicans have to face almost a huge pressure and an omnipresent attack. Tony Allen dribbled on the three-point line at this time.
He was very strict and did not attack rashly. He raised the basketball in his hand and wanted to pass the basketball to Randolph's hand inside. He took some effort to deliver the basketball to Randolph's hand.
Randolph received the basketball urgently. The Grizzlies' attack immediately reached a very dangerous moment. It was seen that once Randolph received the basketball in the inside, he immediately attacked Millsap. Today, Randolph was really angry by Millsap. Not only did this kid hurt himself behind his back, but he was also angry. Randolph had always wanted to find an opportunity to repair Millsap, but he just couldn't find an opportunity.
Now the opportunity finally came. He hit Millsap hard, and at the same time, he used his elbow to blame Millsap when the referee was not paying attention. Millsap resisted expressionlessly, but in secret, Millsap's and Randolph's knees hit the opponent every time they hit.
The two big men were fighting on the surface with their own ulterior motives and secretly attacked. After a few moments, Randolph could not bear it anymore and turned around and jumped to attack.
Randolph's position was not very good at this time. If he could pass the basketball out and pick it up for Prince. It would be better if it was passed in, but today Randolph was hit by Millsap and Brand in front, and the evil fire was suppressed from behind. The evil fire in his stomach was not released at all.
Now I finally met Millsap. If I didn't fix Millsap, Randolph felt that it was unforgiving. Randolph turned around and shot. But after studying Randolph for a long time, Millsap still had two fouls on him. Now I absolutely cannot let Randolph succeed. Millsap's hand slapped Randolph's forearm without hesitation.
With a "bang!", Millsap shot very hard, and the basketball shot was taken directly. Randolph's arm also shook, and his battle of revenge was considered a failure.
After Randolph landed on the ground, he was very angry and shouted.
"Boy, you only have six chances to foul. But my offensive opportunities are numerous."
"Why didn't I see it?"
Millsap spread his hands out of nonchalance, and this made Randolph even more angry. He turned around and shouted at Millsap:
"Boy. I will make you regret it."
"I'm looking forward to it."
Millsap was a counterattacker Randolph who was stuttering fiercely at this time. Randolph was in a very depressed mood and almost wanted to jump up, but he couldn't do that.
I could only walk to the free throw line with an abnormal atmosphere, and failed to hit the two consecutive free throws.
"Randolf's free throws today were very poor, not even 50 percent."
Barkley shook his head as he said it.
"That's because his mentality is too uneasy and he can't calm down."
Hardaway shook his head helplessly. He had been seeing the Pelicans continuously attacking Randolph, which made Randolph's mentality no longer maintain a normal mentality.
The Grizzlies put in the strongest attack posture, but after Randolph's offense failed, the Grizzlies' entire offensive strategy was completely lost.
Van Gundy saw such a big killer move prepared by Robert Pera, and finally fell into nothing. He was happy from the bottom of his heart, and now he gave himself a chance to fight back.
Now the Pelicans' tactics are all on Li Feng. Li Feng is the source of all the tactics alone. Tony Allen also felt this with his instinct.
When Li Feng showed up in the Grizzlies' half, Tony Allen immediately followed and wanted to join forces with Conley to defend Li Feng, but since Van Gundy dared to tie the Pelicans' tactical foundation to Li Feng, he had certain confidence in Li Feng's possession and protection of basketball.
When Conley saw Tony Allen coming to help him defend Li Feng, he immediately pressed Li Feng on his body very actively. Under normal circumstances, as soon as the double defense came out, he would immediately force the opponent to retreat out.
However, with Conley's advance, Li Feng rushed towards Conley in the opposite direction. The reverse breakthrough was the easiest way, because the defender rushed forward, he couldn't stand it, and the attacking players could calmly stagger the defense.
Li Feng took advantage of this moment to cut through Kang Li's side. Li Feng was very strong in his scrupulous force, and even if Kang Li wanted to withstand Li Feng, there was no way to do anything. He could only watch Li Feng cut through his side.
Once Li Feng broke the Grizzlies' double defense on the outside, the Grizzlies' inside line was immediately empty, and it was all blank in front of Li Feng. At this time, Tony Allen hurriedly turned around and chased after him, and Randolph also took a step at the basket.
This time, the Grizzlies not only did not control Li Feng, but instead gave Li Feng a big advantage. Li Feng had such a cheap price at this time and was completely unreasonable to not use it. Li Feng dribbled the ball and rushed towards Randolph. Randolph had already planned to fix Li Feng with a foul, but Li Feng actually dribbled the ball to one side and pulled away from Randolph.
This was just a stroke, but Randolph was facing a dilemma. He either followed Li Feng or stayed there, and was exposed after following him, and there were many opportunities to attack without Li Feng.
Randolph was a little stunned and saw that Li Feng had already jumped into the diagonal piercing. Li Feng's body was jumping to the side. Randolph could only rely on his footsteps to move horizontally.
At this time, Li Feng stretched out one hand and shot out with a right hand. The basketball fell into the Grizzlies' basket before Randolph could move.
This was the first time Li Feng scored after he broke through and stirred up the Grizzlies' defense twice. Moreover, Li Feng's attack was very low-key, but he used Randolph's rhythm and played very simply and without any pressure.
But Randolph felt extremely cowardly, because he was maliciously fouled by Millsap and Brand before, and he didn't get any advantage on Millsap. Li Feng scored on his head twice and twice, which made Randolph extremely depressed.
The Pelicans took advantage of Li Feng's breakthrough and strong body to disrupt the opponent's defense line and wait for an opportunity to take action. This move is extremely simple, but it just hits the Grizzlies' fatal point. The Grizzlies' group of people are good at defending each other, but they are not good at connecting, because Randolph is large and Mark Gasol is also slow to make a move. Moreover, the Grizzlies' outside players are tall and short. In this way, once the defensive formation is messed up, Al Jefferson has an advantage over the small man at a high position, and Li Feng has an advantage against the slow-moving big man.
The Pelicans relied on Li Feng to disrupt the Grizzlies' defense alone, while the Grizzlies relied on the super strong side composed of Tony Allen, Prince and Randolph, and the three players took turns to put pressure on the Pelicans. The Grizzlies' original intention was good, but Randolph, as the heaviest top corner in this triangle, kept cutting and cutting, making Robert Pera's tactical purpose completely impossible to display.
This made the Pelicans chase several goals in a row. At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans completely tied the score. In this way, the Pelicans and the Grizzlies fell into a state of tension and stalemate.
At the end of the third quarter, Hardaway said with concern:
"Now the Pelicans and the Grizzlies are back at the same starting line, so the final victory and loss of today's game will be completely unpredictable."
Hardaway is indeed very nervous because the Grizzlies are being chased by the side, and the side being chased by the side will always be more stressful than the one who is chasing them.
But as soon as the fourth quarter started, Hardaway was not nervous for only a dozen seconds, because after the opening, Al Jefferson was sent off.
In the ten seconds of the opening game, Marc Gasol, who had not performed much today, received a pass from the outside, and then he seemed to help Randolph attract attention.
The dribble was step by step near the baseline and leaned against Al Jefferson to play. When the Pelicans saw this situation, no one thought that he would assist in defense, because everyone thought that Al Jefferson was not an easy thing to defend against Marc Gasol.
Al Jefferson thought so too. He didn't go out to defend Marc Gasol with all his might. As a result, Marc Gasol seized the loophole and turned around and passed El Jefferson.
Al Jefferson is now carrying two fouls on his back, and he doesn't care too much. He doesn't want you to pass, nor can he let you go too easily. He flew up from behind and was about to block Marc Gasol.
With Millsap's vigorous performance, Al Jefferson didn't want to become a supporting role. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
